Here we are... March already. Spring will soon be upon us.
Elise introduced the idea of "Foiling" after previously sending out an information sheet on the subject.
Elise gave out coloured foils to those who wanted to trial the technique.
February's challenge, introduced by Elise, was hand embroidery and these 4 beautiful examples are by Jean
Stitching into the spaces of Sequin waste
Jude then introduced the project for today. "Making your own blocks for Printmaking."
We all brought in everything but the kitchen sink
...and then set to work with card, funky foam, string, cork, clingfilm amongst many others.
We all admired Elysia's collagraph prints
Elaine's prints
Pat's prints, developing a theme of birds
Lillian's sunset print over Monet's garden
This afternoon Dawn continued with the hand embroidery project on her beautiful indigo fabrics.
Pat made 2 lovely blocks. One is using string and the other using felt.
Pat's lovely print on manuscript paper

More prints, printing plate and birds by Joy showing positive and negative to good effect. Great texture Joy.

Clare happily travelled light today and made light work of this lovely piece with tissue paper and colour.
